they would present themselves. i want to bear witness to them. i want their voices out there, not mine. on that was toni morrison in her own words. she's died at the age of 88. the review is coming up in a few minutes. now, it is time for the weather forecast. we're certainly going to talk about low pressure, this slow—moving area generating plenty of showers and longer spells of rain over the past few to wednesday. he was the main focus of the showers, still having in bunbury, a good scattering across northern ireland. still on the sharp side where we find them. some warmer spells of sunshine in between. many will stay dry. a bit cooler for

scotla nd will stay dry. a bit cooler for scotland and northern ireland. we are in between areas of low pressure. keeping an eye what is happening in the atlantic. seems that to increase. —— set to increase. for many it should be mainly dry on thursday, warm spells of sunshine, cloud and rain already starting to gather in the south—west. that is all tied in with this area of low pressure. unusually deep for this time of year, it will slide across through friday, bringing some heavy rain. as that clears, north and east words will turn dry, still with some sharp showers and the winds will be strengthening all the while. so it is wet at first and then windy later in the day. in between we've got some sunshine, up to 23 celsius, more like the mid to high teens where we've got the heavier rain. we'll be concerned for the strength of the wind. over time we get to saturday, it could be touching gale

force across much of england and wales and you can see this area of low pressure. the isobars are really close together, so some very windy conditions to saturday. still quite right through scotland, northern ireland. dry elsewhere, but it is the strength of the wind that we are most concerned about. this is an idea of gusts through saturday, 40-50 idea of gusts through saturday, 40—50 mild an hour quite widely. the potential for some disruption is there. temperatures in the sunshine, 22 celsius, where we have rain more like 18 or 19. it is going to feel cooler with the wind. slowly the winds start to ease down as we go to sunday but they take their time. probably at this stage across parts of scotland, northern england, starting to ease from here, it should turn dry across northern ireland. northern scotland should be mainly dry. slowly, the wind started to ease down and temperatures by

many, 19— 23 celsius. briefly the winds start to ease down as we go through monday but then we keep an eye on this area of low pressure which starts to develop and that pushes further outbreaks of rain initially across southern parts of england. then pushing its way north and eastwards throughout the day, so turning quite wet, and the winds are starting to pick up, but not as strong as what we've seen through saturday. temperatures i9— strong as what we've seen through saturday. temperatures 19— 23 celsius. so here is ourjet stream, these dry our weather patterns and it is still staying to the south of the uk as we go to next week. in that position it enables areas of low pressure to continue to pile in from off the atlantic. it will bring another spell of weight and potentially windy weather. so no sign of anything warm or settled in the week ahead. further spells of rain, some drier interludes, possibly quite windy and rather cool as well. the's gold from me. bye— bye. as well. the's gold from me. bye—bye. —— all from me.

hello. this is bbc news with ben brown. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines. as the prime minister welcomes his first eu leader to downing street, the minister in charge of no—deal brexit planning, michael gove, accuses the eu of refusing to engage in fresh talks. chelsea football club apologises unreservedly after their chief scout for a decade, eddie heath, is revealed as a dangerous and prolific paedophile. some residents have been allowed

back home after the results of a survey of the collapsed data show damp. —— derby shire damp. tensions over kashmir — after india scraps its autonomy — pakistan says it could go to the un. welcome to our look at what is in tomorrow morning's papers. with me are torcuil crichton, westminster editor of the daily record, and ruth lea, economic adviser at arbuthnot bank. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the times leads on a potential political pact between labour and the snp in a bid to remove borisjohnson as prime minister, ahead of a possible general election in the autumn. the express leads on brexit —

it says borisjohnson has told the eu to reopen negotiations over the withdrawal agreement if it wants a deal. the european union would reopen the withdrawal agreement if the prime minister drops his red lines over the irish backstop, that's according to the i. the telegraph, it says the treasury plans to relax restrictions on gps pensions as they look to cut waiting times across the nhs. the guardian's front page is a picture of the american novelist, toni morrison, who died yesterday at the age of 88. its lead is a warning from britain's most senior counter—terrorism officers that a rise in police numbers won't be enough to fight extremism. and the metro's top story is the independent review into historical sexual abuse and racism at chelsea football club. the mail reports that one in eight deaths in the uk last year was caused by dementia, making it the biggest killer. so there you are. the flavour of the

front pages. a varied list of papers. let's have a look at them in detail. what you think about the brexit news? there is no way you will get the withdrawal agreement through the commons, so you have to start reopening it. but of course we know that several times the european union has said it is not prepared to open it and the override code himself as that is not prepared to change the backstop. would they reopen it if it was more advantageous to the eu? -- the override car —— leo varadkar. they said they might reopen it in the far future, but the withdrawal agreement

has to get through the commons if we are going to live with it. so, are we heading inexorably, inevitably, hurtling towards a no—deal brexit? tick, tock, tick, sock, 86 days to go and we are in full spring. the minister in charge of no—deal brexit preparation said it was long and sad does make wrong and sad that the eu wouldn't talk to the united kingdom. that is a fairly audacious claim given the prime minister of united kingdom, borisjohnson, as repeatedly said he won't talk to the eu unless the eu drops the undemocratic, as he labels it, behaviour. he can't get it through the commons. is it all a game of love 7 ofte n the commons. is it all a game of love? often double bath and all that

sort of stuff? it is brinkmanship in which borisjohnson has made it easy for eu leaders to engage. he is gone in hardball, from style —— trump style, and that you are saying we can't cope with this, this is bullying, asking for the impossible. we as negotiators can't do that. if they given to johnson, they give into charm, and if they give in to trump, they give in to china, so from their point of view, they are going to talk to boris and still something changes. and if the prime minister drops red lines, in the i newspaper. i think the brutaltruth is that the european union union knows that the withdrawal agreement

won't go through the commons. i think it is a complete stand—off now and what really will need to happen, the eu must be stepping up their new deal preparations. how worried you think the eu is by the prospect of a no—deal brexit in ireland would be worried, they would face tariffs on the export a lot of agricultural produce to this country. the trouble thatis produce to this country. the trouble that is the average one is only 3.5 - 4x, that is the average one is only 3.5 — 4%, trivial. but when it comes to agricultural produce, you are talking about 35— 40% tariffs, which would certainly hit the irish agricultural sector. and you could have 10% tariffs on cars, they could hit german car import into this country at a time when the germans' car industry is aptly suffering quite a bit. so there are economic problems there are no doubt there will be economic issues here, some

replications, but it's not impossible. i think they can get there it was brutal truth is if the withdrawal agreement‘s not going to be opened and it won't go through the commons, that's where we are. from an irish perspective, when you look at it through the political dimension of the peace process of ireland and the implications of that as well. but in dublin, yeah, it looks like it's going to be a hard brexit, they seem to have braced themselves for that, a massive dent in the economy, 5% of gdp over the next ten years, less than some leaders of the uk will feel from a ha rd leaders of the uk will feel from a hard brexit. you're making the figures up now? no, these other figures up now? no, these other figures from the uk treasury. figures up now? no, these other figures from the uk treasuryli can't figures from the uk treasury.” can't believe those. there oh, fake news is it? i was in the treasury. i

made figures up and they well was at my back. make them up? i forecasted them. oh. estimates. let's move on swiftly to the times. labour and the snp. basically this is saying if the two parties between them could form a majority actually after a general election, that is what it is the difficulty saying, well, if and when how? but, there could well be a general election but very unlikely before october 31, so it is with —— if it is after then, i expect the brexit party would disappear quite rapidly in the conservatives could end up as the biggest party again.

soi end up as the biggest party again. so i think... let's explain what the terms of the packed r. —— pact are. it looks like they would be allowing to hold another scottish independence referendum? there is the mark was a national poll showing independence ahead for the first time ina independence ahead for the first time in a couple of years, then nicola sturgeon saying what she was saying before, she doesn't like jeremy corbyn very much but she would get a stop boris pact going oi'i. would get a stop boris pact going on. if labour would allow another referendum? the essence was that he wouldn't stand in the way, we wouldn't stand in the way, we wouldn't stand in the way of the scottish parliament, asking the english parliament to hold a brexit referendum. bizarre language,

because there is an english parliament, he is ramping up nationalist rhetoric there. scott is labour are against nationalist rhetoric there. scott is labourare againsta nationalist rhetoric there. scott is labour are against a second referendum. he has succeeded in making labour look progressive. could there be an anti—brexit or a pro remain alliance, do you think with labour, snp, the liberal democrats, people are talking about a government of national unity at some stage. we think the clock is ticking. just had to, sock from torcuil here. the brexit government prior to brexit days highly unlikely and this is actually about after the next election which will surely be after it's over 3ist. and i think if i could just say what this agreement with the snp would bring to labour would be the snp mps. let us move

away from all of that, politics and brexit and so on and talk about so risen. britain's missing a counterterrorism officer and the booster peace and security services are no longer enough to win the fight against violent extremism. new glasses, what is he saying? is tipped to be the next top cop in britain —— years. —— years. news just newsjust is not enough, the past response, expecting police to tow the line, and counterterrorism effectively. he sang the root causes have to be addressed socially. in comments reported elsewhere, he has had a go at the prevent strategy, the government's trying to de— radicalise individuals. he is saying

that isn't succeeding.” radicalise individuals. he is saying that isn't succeeding. i think it's more a case of changing tone rather than strategy and what he does say about, it must be more transparent. explain about relaxed pensions. basically it was a disincentive,

fewer and fewer hours mean there was a battle of operations and cancellations on the nhs. a fairly niche change in taxes. having a big effect on the nhs. sajid javid saying he will unblock that. the nhs has bigger problems, it is 40,000 doctors short in england, 90,000 nurses short. basically george osborne brought in this extraordinary cap on pensions tax relief. it means that certain parts of your income means you have marginal tax rates of greater than 100%. that is marginal tax rates of greater than ioo%. that is no incentive to get people to do more work. it's going to be changed. ruth, this is an extraordinary picture in the mirror and it's been all over social media. two white police officers on horseback in texas leading a

suspect, a black suspect by rope. the texan police actually apologised for this. but it is quite an incredible picture and it says quite a lot about america today potentially. i was shocked when i saw this. i could hardly believe my eyes. they go on to say this is back —— best practice in some scenarios but this isn't that sort of scenario or it can be best practice. you have a single man who clearly is quiet, he seemed to be very subdued and to mounted police. it is totally bizarre. i really think it is extraordinary. it's the symbolism of it. being led like an animal by two white men. it looks like an image from the days of slavery. a country founded on slavery, divided by slavery still and divided along

those lines, it'sjust not helpful at all. it evokes the worst memories of the dark side of american history. and somebody who wrote very eloquently about slavery, toni morrison,, who died at the age of 88. she was a phenomenon she brought that to life. a terrible choice. the nobel prize for literature, and that she was given the presidential medal of honour by barack obama and she didn't back down on race at all. one

of the obituaries today said a white kid shot in the back by american police officers and a white man charged with raping a black woman. she confronted those issues in her literature and in her life. she was born in 1931, 88 years old and i'm old enough to remember rosa parks. she refused to give her seat up to a white person on the bus. and this was just extraordinary. martin luther king, i have a dream, this was the whole emancipation of african—americans so she has seen enormous changes. and then a black president. terrific dignity. then you will give this awful picture of this poor man between these two horsemen. oh, goodness. why do they have to do it? let's end on

something that is rather extraordinary. a bit of advice to people who are on the seaside and facing hungry seagulls who have chips. according to this study, if you give the seagulls a hard stare, it will drive them away.” you give the seagulls a hard stare, it will drive them away. i possibly believe it, i grew up in the hebrides. the way you deal with seagulls there was by shooting them. that's a little more extreme. people would hang up one seagull that would scare up all the other seagulls but if you hang up a crow, all his family come to the funeral. there is another method which is basically if the seagull comes at your chips, steer the seagull out. they fear being looked at, we are bigger animals. they are a menace and an increasing menace. for the first time in london, i've started hearing

them. i've heard them for years. they are in finchley, they come to finchley. they are a menace because wasn't there a recent story about a seagull which took a chihuahua? someone's little dog? there are calls for colds and seaside towns. seagulls attack people. so you shoot them? in the olden days, that's what they do. have you ever shocked a seagull? no, i haven't. ifa seagull we re seagull? no, i haven't. ifa seagull were bearing down on you you'd have to be quite brave to steer it out. and say, come on... ijump up and down and make a great deal of noise. the skewers in the north will dive on you, they willjust keep it going one after another. seagulls are

slightly more wary of ours. a lot of information to anybody who wants it about seagulls. that's it for the papers tonight. thank you ruth and torcuil. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. goodbye. here's your latest sports news. we'll start with the news that wayne rooney will return to english football in january. england and manchester united's all time leading scorer has signed an initial 18—month detail with championship club, derby county. he'll leave his current side dc

united at the end of the mls season, as michael redford reports. the day rooney flew into cookers next, the day derby fans thought they'd never see. wayne rooney has officially returned to english all, just not immediately. he signed an 18 month contract with the championship side and begins in january. i'm delighted to be back here and i'm looking forward to coming back in january here and i'm looking forward to coming back injanuary and helping the team push forward and hopefully push for promotion. really's delays because he stayed in america to help current side dc united compete in their end of season play—offs. after that, its destination derby with a twist. rooney is not going to just bea twist. rooney is not going to just be a player but a coach as well. the opportunity to come back in england and play but also to take up a coaching role with the club was too

great for me to turn down. it's something i've always wanted to do and when the time is right of course, hopefully i can move into it. rooney isn't the first of england's golden generation to for a into the first steps of football management. stephen gerard is the management. stephen gerard is the man in charge of ranges while rooney missed frank lampa rd man in charge of ranges while rooney missed frank lampard for a matter of weeks when he chose to swap pride park for a weeks when he chose to swap pride parkforafairy weeks when he chose to swap pride park for a fairy tale return to chelsea. there is nothing fairy tale about rooney's return that it may feel like that for derby supporters. he says he still has plenty to give on the pitch before starting a new career of it. his new boss agrees. not only the quality of the play we get in the english squad but also his experience. we are lucky to have him. lucky indeed. a coup from cocu and his employers. rooney's first game could be barnsley on new year's day, a late christmas present for

derby fans. the carriers, though, have already started. rooney, rooney, rooney! michael redford, bbc news. jofra archer has been stalking his claim to replace injured james anderson for the second ashes test. archer warmed up for a potential test debut by taking six for 27 today for sussex second—eleven against gloucestershire seconds — he also scored 108 with the bat. anderson will miss the second ashes at lord's that starts next week — due to a calf injury that restricted him in the first test which england lost. dan evans will face rafa nadal for the first time tomorrow after he beat alex de minaur in the first round of the rogers cup. eva ns', the british number two and world number 53, beat the australian world number 38 in straight sets, 6—4, 7—6. so next up for evans is french open champion nadal, who recieved a bye into the second round. england will name their rugby world cup squad after their summer international against wales on sunday.

mike brown and ben te'o will not have a chance to stake their claim for a place in it. they've been left out by coach eddiejones, who says while they will be disappointed to miss out, they may get another opportunity so must be ready. northampton flanker lewis ludlam and bath wing rory mcconnochie could make their debuts at twickenham. in the opening day of fixtures in the super league — england's domestic women's twenty20 tournament, a dramatic victory for surrey stars over yorkshire diamonds at headingly, they won byjust 9 runs. wins too for western storm and southern vipers. that's all the sport for now. hello there. whether across the uk, a bit ofa hello there. whether across the uk, a bit of a lottery at the moment. of its sunshine you're after, some of you will not be disappointed but u nfortu nately low pressure you will not be disappointed but unfortunately low pressure still with us again and it will bring with ita with us again and it will bring with it a rash of frequent thundery downpours particularly across eastern scott much of the day to

day. a few showers along west facing coasts driven further inland as we go through the day by a brisk south—westerly wind. dodge the showers, keep some sunshine just like yesterday, you'll see temperatures peeking into the mid—20s. that's the mid— 70s fahrenheit but keep those showers, particularly in eastern scotland and some of those quite slow—moving, temperatures will struggle. those days the better day, if you are seeing a chance of dry weather right across the country, but we still can't rule out the risk of a sharp shower here and as we move into friday, a deep area of low pressure which will bring some unseasonably wet and windy weather right across the country through friday and also saturday.

welcome to newsday. i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore. the headlines: india puts kashmir on lockdown — pakistan's prime minister says the move will increase tension between the two countries. translation: i'm telling you, it will have serious consequences. everyone will lose, so this is the time to act. beijing's warning to protestors in hong kong — a spokesman says they're "playing with fire". i'm lewis vaughanjones in london. also in the programme: a resentment of women — one clue as the fbi investigates the mass shooting in dayton, ohio. president trump is due to visit later on wednesday.
